			<p align="justify">Open Source Software (also known as OSS) has emerged as a powerful new paradigm for development, maintenance and
				enhancement of software through collaborative efforts of developer and user community. Open Source Software, as the name suggests,
				promotes the availability of source code to the entire community; and grants the rights to study, change and improve the software. Open
				Source Software is usually licensed using 'CopyLeft' license, a term which emphasizes the reversal of principal of copyright and the
				freedom to modify and/or re-distribute the software.</p>
			<p align="justify">Linux emerged as the first highly successful open source software and it firmly established the power of the open
				source paradigm. Success of Linux provided great momentum to the open source movement and now there is a wide range of open source
				software in practically every area including operating systems, development tools, application servers, mail servers, project management
				tools, business applications etc. Some of the immensely popular open source software are listed in the table below:</p>
